Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of broadband service technology, specifically to a broadband service rate synchronization method, apparatus, and electronic device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, broadband services provide users with high-speed internet access. Users can access broadband networks via ADSL or fiber optics to surf the internet at high speed.

[0003] When a user subscribes to a broadband package, the package includes a basic speed, which is the user's internet bandwidth. If the user's current bandwidth does not meet their needs, the user can upgrade the speed in two ways: 1. Switch to a higher-speed package; 2. Subscribe to a speed-up add-on package. User service processing is handled by the CRM system (Customer Relationship Management, which manages customer relationships), while actual bandwidth control is handled by the AAA platform (Broadband Authentication Platform, which manages broadband accounts, passwords, speeds, and expiration dates). The AAA platform only supports one user having two non-overlapping speed limits simultaneously.

[0004] Existing technical solutions, while capable of ensuring CRM accurately synchronizes bandwidth to the AAA platform when broadband service architectures are simpler in the early stages, exhibit the following drawbacks with continuous business development and product diversification: When customers subscribe to a basic package and multiple speed-up packages, with overlapping validity periods, synchronizing the latest speed segment to the AAA platform may not represent the highest speed the customer can currently enjoy. This means the customer's actual bandwidth may not have increased, potentially leading to complaints and impacting customer satisfaction. In other words, existing technical solutions cannot ensure that the highest speed segment is sent to the AAA platform when multiple speed-up packages have overlapping validity periods. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This application provides a broadband service rate synchronization method, apparatus, and electronic device to solve the technical problem that existing solutions cannot synchronize the highest rate segment to the broadband authentication platform when there are multiple speed-up packets with overlapping validity periods.

[0006] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a broadband service rate synchronization method, comprising:

[0007] Acquire multiple broadband service subscription data with overlapping validity periods. The broadband service subscription data includes a service identifier, the broadband rate corresponding to the service identifier, the effective time of the broadband rate, and the expiration time.

[0008] Based on the effective time and the expiration time of multiple broadband service subscription data, determine multiple rate change time points within the validity period of the multiple broadband service subscription data.

[0009] Multiple update rate time periods are calculated based on the multiple rate change time points; the update rate time period includes the highest update broadband rate of the multiple broadband service subscription data within the same time period, the service identifier, and the update effective time and update failure time of the update broadband rate.

[0010] Based on preset rules, the update rate time period is sent to the broadband authentication platform for broadband service rate synchronization.

[0011] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide a broadband service rate synchronization device, comprising:

[0012] The order data acquisition module is used to acquire multiple broadband service order data with overlapping validity periods. The broadband service order data includes a service identifier, the broadband rate corresponding to the service identifier, the effective time of the broadband rate, and the expiration time.

[0013] The rate change time point determination module is used to determine multiple rate change time points within the validity period of the multiple broadband service subscription data based on the effective time and the expiration time of the multiple broadband service subscription data.

[0014] The update rate time period calculation module is used to calculate multiple update rate time periods based on the multiple rate change time points; the update rate time period includes the highest update broadband rate of the multiple broadband service subscription data within the same time period, as well as the update effective time and update failure time of the update broadband rate.

[0015] The rate synchronization module is used to send the update rate time period to the broadband authentication platform based on preset rules to synchronize the rate of broadband services.

[0016] Thirdly, embodiments of this application provide an electronic device, including a processor and a memory storing a computer program, wherein the processor executes the program to implement the steps of the broadband service rate synchronization method described in the first aspect.

[0017] Fourthly, embodiments of this application provide a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having a computer program stored thereon, wherein the computer program, when executed by a processor, implements the steps of the broadband service rate synchronization method described in the first aspect.

[0018] Fifthly, embodiments of this application provide a computer program product, including a computer program that, when executed by a processor, implements the steps of the broadband service rate synchronization method described in the first aspect.

[0019] The broadband service rate synchronization method, apparatus, and electronic device provided in this application embodiment are based on the analysis of multiple broadband service subscription data. According to the effective time and expiration time of the multiple broadband service subscription data, multiple rate change time points within the validity period of the multiple broadband service subscription data are determined. These multiple rate change time points divide the validity period of the multiple broadband service subscription data into multiple time periods, thereby facilitating the determination of the highest updated broadband rate, service identifier, and validity period of the updated broadband rate within the same time period. Then, based on preset rules, the updated rate time periods are sent to the broadband authentication platform for broadband service rate synchronization. This application embodiment ensures that the rate synchronized to the broadband authentication platform at any time is the highest bandwidth rate available to the user, reducing customer complaints and improving customer satisfaction.

[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the technical solutions of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0028] Figure 1 This describes a method for synchronizing broadband service rates. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 This application provides a broadband service rate synchronization method, which may include:

[0029] Step 100: Obtain multiple broadband service subscription data with overlapping validity periods. The broadband service subscription data includes a service identifier, the broadband rate corresponding to the service identifier, the effective time of the broadband rate, and the expiration time.

[0030] The electronic device acquires multiple broadband service subscription data with overlapping validity periods. The broadband service subscription data includes a service identifier, the corresponding broadband speed, the effective date of the broadband speed, and the expiration date. The service identifier is a unique identifier for each broadband service. The service identifier can be represented by one or more of numbers, English letters, and characters. For example, a broadband service subscription data might have the following characteristics: Service Identifier: 76032464902568; Broadband Speed: 100M / s; Effective Date: 2018 / 10 / 1; Expiration Date: 2037 / 12 / 31.

[0031] The overlapping validity periods of multiple broadband service subscription data refer to multiple broadband service subscription data with overlapping validity periods. For example, broadband service subscription data A has the following characteristics: service identifier: 76032464902568; broadband speed: 100M / s; effective date: 2018 / 10 / 1; expiration date: 2037 / 12 / 31. Broadband service subscription data B has the following characteristics: service identifier: 76032464902569; broadband speed: 600M / s; effective date: 2020 / 10 / 28; expiration date: 2021 / 10 / 28. Therefore, the validity periods of broadband service subscription data A and broadband service subscription data B overlap during the period from 2020 / 10 / 28 to 2021 / 10 / 28.

[0032] It should be noted that multiple broadband service subscription data with overlapping validity periods do not mean that the validity periods of every two broadband service subscription data entries overlap. Multiple broadband service subscription data entries only require that the validity periods of two entries overlap.

[0033] In one embodiment, the five broadband service subscription data points of a single user are obtained as shown in Table 1. For ease of explanation, each broadband service subscription data point is labeled with a rate segment number.

[0034]

[0035] Table 1

[0036] Step 200: Based on the effective time and the expiration time of the multiple broadband service subscription data, determine multiple rate change time points within the validity period of the multiple broadband service subscription data.

[0037] The electronic device determines multiple rate change time points within the validity period of the multiple broadband service subscription data based on the effective time and the expiration time of the multiple broadband service subscription data.

[0038] Taking the five broadband service subscription data in Table 1 as an example. Assuming the current time is 2020 / 10 / 01, the overall validity period of the five broadband service subscription data is 2020 / 10 / 01-2037 / 12 / 31. The various rate change points within the period of 2020 / 10 / 01-2037 / 12 / 31 are: 2020 / 10 / 01, 2020 / 10 / 28, 2020 / 11 / 1, 2020 / 11 / 28, 2021 / 10 / 28, 2021 / 10 / 31, 2022 / 1 / 1, 2022 / 11 / 28, 2023 / 1 / 1, and 2037 / 12 / 31.

[0039] By identifying multiple rate change points within the validity period of the various broadband service subscription data, the broadband service packages subscribed by users are segmented into valid rate segments according to time series, laying the foundation for calculating multiple update rate time periods.

[0040] Step 300: Calculate multiple update rate time periods based on the multiple rate change time points; the update rate time periods include the highest update broadband rate of the multiple broadband service subscription data within the same time period, the service identifier, and the update effective time and update failure time of the update broadband rate.

[0041] Given multiple rate change time points within the validity period of the multiple broadband service subscription data, the multiple rate change time points are divided into multiple time periods within the validity period of the multiple broadband service subscription data. This facilitates the selection of the updated broadband rate with the highest rate among the multiple broadband service subscription data within the same time period, and further determines the service identifier, the update effective time of the updated broadband rate, and the update expiration time.

[0042] In one embodiment, step 300, calculating multiple update rate time periods based on the multiple rate change time points, includes:

[0043] Step 310: Generate a list of rate change time points in chronological order based on the multiple rate change time points; the list of rate change time points includes multiple rate change time points, the time point type of the broadband service subscription data at each of the rate change time points, and the service identifier of the broadband service subscription data corresponding to the time point type, wherein the time point type includes active or inactive.

[0044] The electronic device sorts the broadband service subscription data by deduplication based on the effective and expiration times, discarding time points smaller than the current time (assuming the current time is 2020 / 10 / 01), and generates a list of rate change time points, as shown in Table 2. For ease of explanation, a time point number is added to each rate change time point.

[0045]

[0046] Table 2

[0047] In Table 2, the time point types are divided into "Effective" and "Invalid" based on the effective service time of the broadband speed product ordered by the user. These two states are derived from the user's actual broadband service order data. For any order relationship, the start time of the effective service is "Effective" and the end time of the effective service is "Invalid". For example, for the "Mobile Broadband 100M Annual Package" product in Table 1, the time point type "2018 / 10 / 1" is "Effective" and the time point type "2037 / 12 / 31" is "Invalid".

[0048] Step 320: Determine the highest broadband rate at each of the rate change time points based on the list of rate change time points;

[0049] The electronic device determines the highest broadband rate at each of the rate change time points based on the list of rate change time points. With time point 0 fixed as the current time, the electronic device iterates through the broadband service subscription data that match the rate change time points according to the following conditions: the effective time of each broadband service subscription data point is less than or equal to the rate change time point, and less than the expiration time of each broadband service subscription data point. After determining the matched broadband service subscription data points, the broadband rates are compared, and the highest rate value and its corresponding service identifier are determined as the highest broadband rate.

[0050] Specifically, step 320, determining the highest broadband rate at each rate change time point based on the list of rate change time points, includes:

[0051] Step 321: Determine the service identifier that is active at each of the rate change time points based on the rate change time point list;

[0052] Step 322: Determine the target service identifier with the highest width rate among the service identifiers in the active state;

[0053] Step 323: Determine the bandwidth rate corresponding to the target service identifier as the highest bandwidth rate at each of the rate change time points.

[0054] Taking Tables 1 and 2 as examples, firstly, the rate at time point 0 is initialized to rate segment number ① in Table 1; secondly, the latest rate at time point 1 (see the time point number column in Table 2) is determined, and all rate validity periods (see the rate segment number column in Table 1) are polled. Only rate segment numbers ① and ② have an intersection with the validity period of time point 1. The service identifier corresponding to rate segment number ① is 76032464902568; the service identifier corresponding to rate segment number ② is 76032464902569. Therefore, rate segment numbers ① and ② match the rate at time point 1. Comparing the rates of rate segment numbers ① and ②, the service identifier 76032464902569 of rate segment number ② with the highest rate is taken as the target service identifier. The rate of rate segment number ② with the highest rate is then taken as the rate at time point 1.

[0055] Next, determine the highest broadband rate for the remaining time point 2. The rate segment numbers that meet the matching criteria are ①, ②, and ④. Take the rate segment number ④ with the highest value as the rate for time point 2, and assign the target service identifier to the service identifier of rate segment number ④; and so on. Please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 2 , Figure 2 This refers to the time period corresponding to multiple broadband service subscription data before the update rate period was calculated, as provided in this application embodiment. Figure 2As can be seen, the highest broadband speeds for all time points 0-9 are determined as follows: speed segment number ①, speed segment number ②, speed segment number ④, speed segment number ④, speed segment number ④, speed segment number ③, speed segment number ⑤, speed segment number ⑤, and speed segment number ①.

[0056] Step 330: Determine the validity period of each highest broadband rate based on the highest broadband rate at each of the rate change time points.

[0057] The electronic device determines the validity period of each highest broadband rate based on the highest broadband rate at each of the rate change time points.

[0058] The effective time of the first rate segment is fixed, which is the current time, corresponding to time point number 0. Following the sequence of time point numbers, the service identifiers of the highest broadband rates at two adjacent rate change time points are compared. If the service identifiers are the same, it means the rate has not changed, so this step is skipped, and the end time is uncertain. The comparison continues with the service identifier of the next rate change time point. If the service identifiers are different, the expiration time corresponding to the highest rate at the previous rate change time point becomes the time of the next rate change time point.

[0059] This application embodiment can also obtain the validity period of each highest broadband rate by comparing the highest broadband rates at two adjacent rate change time points. Specifically, step 330, determining the validity period of each highest broadband rate based on the highest broadband rate at each rate change time point, includes:

[0060] Step 331: Compare the highest broadband rate at two adjacent rate change time points;

[0061] Step 332: In the case that the two maximum broadband rates are different, determine the validity period of the maximum broadband rate at the previous rate change time point as the time period between the previous rate change time point and the next rate change time point;

[0062] Step 333: If the two highest broadband rates are the same, continue to compare the highest broadband rates at the next rate change time point until the two highest broadband rates are different; determine the validity period of the same highest broadband rate at two or more adjacent rate change time points as the time period between the earliest rate change time point and the latest rate change time point.

[0063] If the highest broadband rates for time points 0 and 1 are not equal (e.g., rate segment numbers ① and ② respectively), then the expiration time of rate segment number ① and the activation time of rate segment number ② can be calculated: the activation time of the first rate segment ① is the current time, and the expiration time is the corresponding time for time point 1; the activation time of the second rate segment ② is the time corresponding to time point 1, and the expiration time is the time corresponding to time point 2. Among time points 2 to 5, the highest broadband rate for each time point is the same, all belonging to the broadband rate of rate segment number ④. Therefore, the earliest time point 2 is determined as the activation time of rate segment number ④, and the last time point 5 is determined as the expiration time of rate segment number ④. In other words, the time period between time points 2 and 5 is determined as the validity period of rate segment number ④.

[0064] Similarly, the effective time and expiration time corresponding to other highest broadband rates are calculated to obtain the validity period of each of the highest broadband rates, as shown in Table 3.

[0065]

[0066] Table 3

[0067] Step 340: Based on the highest broadband rate and the validity period of the highest broadband rate, obtain multiple update rate time periods.

[0068] The electronic device obtains multiple update rate time periods based on the respective maximum bandwidth rates and their validity periods. A schematic diagram representing these multiple update rate time periods is generated based on Table 3. Please refer to... Figure 3 . Figure 3 This refers to the rate time period corresponding to multiple broadband service subscription data after the calculation update rate time period provided in the embodiments of this application. It can be seen that the broadband speed corresponding to the time period from October 1, 2020 to October 28, 2020 is 100 M / s, corresponding to speed segment number ①; the broadband speed corresponding to the time period from October 28, 2020 to November 1, 2020 is 600 M / s, corresponding to speed segment number ②; the broadband speed corresponding to the time period from November 1, 2020 to October 31, 2021 is 1000 M / s, corresponding to speed segment number ④; the broadband speed corresponding to the time period from October 31, 2021 to January 1, 2022 is 200 M / s, corresponding to speed segment number ③; the broadband speed corresponding to the time period from January 1, 2022 to January 1, 2023 is 300 M / s, corresponding to speed segment number ⑤; and the broadband speed corresponding to the time period from January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2037 is 100 M / s, corresponding to speed segment number ①.

[0069] Step 400: Based on preset rules, send the update rate time period to the broadband authentication platform to synchronize the broadband service rate.

[0070] After obtaining multiple update rate time periods, valid new broadband rate information is obtained for multiple broadband service subscription data. Based on the last-in-first-out (LIFO) principle of a stack, this embodiment of the application can store multiple update rate time periods in a stack in chronological order, from oldest to newest. Then, based on the LIFO principle and the requirements of the broadband authentication platform, the update rate time periods are sent to the broadband authentication platform for broadband service rate synchronization.

[0071] In one embodiment, step 400, the step of sending the update rate time period to the broadband authentication platform based on preset rules for broadband service rate synchronization, includes:

[0072] Step 410: Store the multiple update rate time periods into a stack in order of their time sequence, from oldest to newest, according to the time order of the update effective time or the update invalid time;

[0073] In this embodiment, the update rate time segments are sequentially placed into the stack in the order of rate segment number ①, rate segment number ⑤, rate segment number ③, rate segment number ④, rate segment number ②, and rate segment number ①.

[0074] Step 420: Determine the update rate time period for sending the broadband authentication platform to synchronize the broadband service rate based on the number of stack elements in the stack.

[0075] During rate synchronization, if the number of stack elements is greater than 1, the first two broadband rates are retrieved from the stack; if the number of stack elements is equal to 1, one rate is retrieved; if the stack is empty, no synchronization is required.

[0076] Specifically, step 420, determining the update rate time period for sending data to the broadband authentication platform for broadband service rate synchronization based on the number of stack elements in the stack, includes:

[0077] Step 421: If the number of stack elements is greater than 1, send the two update rate time periods at the top of the stack to the broadband authentication platform for broadband service rate synchronization.

[0078] Step 422: When the number of stack elements is equal to 1, send the update rate time period at the top of the stack to the broadband authentication platform for broadband service rate synchronization.

[0079] The current time is 2020 / 10 / 01. The bottom element of the stack has the furthest effective time from the current time, making it the latest to take effect; the top element has the closest effective time from the current time, making it the earliest to take effect. When a new update rate time period takes effect, it is popped from the stack and synchronized with the broadband authentication platform. Since the broadband authentication platform only supports a user having two non-overlapping rate periods simultaneously, during rate synchronization, if the number of stack elements is greater than one, the first two broadband rates at the top of the stack are retrieved. The original top element is the currently effective rate, and the next top element is the pre-effective rate. Please refer to... Figure 4 , Figure 4 This diagram illustrates the process of synchronizing broadband service rates by sending update rate time intervals to the broadband authentication platform based on stack principles. Figure 4 In the example, rate segment number ① and rate segment number ② are popped from the stack. Rate segment number ① is the current rate, which is 100 M / s. Synchronization takes effect immediately. Rate segment number ② is the pre-effective rate, which takes effect on 2020 / 10 / 28 according to the effective time. If the stack element is equal to 1, then 1 rate is taken as the current effective rate. If the stack is empty, then no synchronization is required.

[0080] In summary, this embodiment of the application, based on a time series, filters out rate change time points from the multiple broadband service subscription data throughout their entire lifecycle, generating a list of rate change time points. Based on these rate change time points, the data is divided into multiple time periods. Within the same time period, the highest rate is selected to generate a new updated broadband rate. Following the "last-in, first-out" principle of a stack, and in order of increasing start time, this embodiment pops the updated rate time periods from the stack. The number of elements in the stack is then checked. If it is greater than one, the top two updated rate time periods are synchronized to the broadband authentication platform; if the number is equal to one, the top updated rate time period is taken and provided to the broadband authentication platform; if the stack is empty, no synchronization is required.

[0081] The broadband service rate synchronization method provided in this application embodiment uses multiple broadband service subscription data as the basis for analysis. Based on the effective time and expiration time of the multiple broadband service subscription data, it determines multiple rate change time points within the validity period of the multiple broadband service subscription data. These multiple rate change time points divide the validity period of the multiple broadband service subscription data into multiple time periods, thereby facilitating the determination of the highest updated broadband rate, service identifier, and validity period of the updated broadband rate within the same time period. Then, based on preset rules, the updated rate time periods are sent to the broadband authentication platform for broadband service rate synchronization. This application embodiment ensures that the rate synchronized to the broadband authentication platform at any time is the highest bandwidth rate available to the user, reducing customer complaints and improving customer satisfaction.
